LTD M-17

Super affordable 7-string electric

MusicRadar’s verdict:

"You might want to replace the pickups with an aftermarket set, but the fact that you can buy a seven-string of this quality for this price demonstrates the instrument's unstoppable rise from niche creation to mainstream acceptance - and if that means more guitars like this, that's fine by us."

Crazy Tube Circuits Vyagra Boost

MusicRadar’s verdict:

Peavey Composer

A futuristic Peavey parlour

MusicRadar’s verdict:

"Do you need one? Well, especially for the electric player who's after a travel companion, there are worse guitars out there. For straight acoustic use, we might look elsewhere, but give it a little love and this lil' Composer soon becomes rather endearing."
